A City's Car Horses.

When it is written that the Brooklyn City owns over 2,7O0 horses and that each horse costs 30 cents a day, some idea of the magnitude of the expense can be figured. It will be seen that at this rate over $500 is spent on maintenance alone It is claimed, and probably justly, that car horse re- ceives better treatment than an animal driven to private conveyance All the stables of the Brooklyn City are we'll ventilated. Air is permitted to enter from the top and sides, while there is a draft through the long corridor in front of each row of stalls. Over the stall of each horse is placard, giving the occu- pants age, cost, where purchased and a few other particulars. A space is left for the animals death, the rate of the latter being about two per cent. yearly. If faults can be found with the general workings of the Brooklyn City railroad company it cannot be said that those employees in the stable are open to cen sure.-[ Brooklyn Eagle.

Effect of Certain OdOrs.

The aroma of red cedar is fatal to house moths; the aroma of black walnut leaves is fatal to heas. It is matter of common observation that persons en- gagged in the business of making shingles from odorifcrous cypress timber in ma larial districts are rarely, if ever, affect ed by malarial diseases, and that persons en gagged in gathering and distilling tur- pentine do not suffer from either mala- rial diseases or consumption. It is said that when cholera was epidemic in Mem phis, Tenn, persons working in livery stables were entirely exempt from it. It is affirmed that since the destruction of the clove trees on the island of Ternate the colony has suffered from .epidemics unknown before; and in times when cholera has prevailed in London and Paris those employed in the perfumery factories have escaped its ravagcs.-

Walking Sticks

To break off a branch for defensive purposes as Crusoe did on finding him self on an unknown island, would be one of the first acts of primitive man. X rude support of this kind would soon be followed by the pilgrims staff, familiar to us in the pictures of the patriarchs; f; and from these early slaves down to the gold headed cane of our modern dandy, what variety of walking sticks have been produced, according to the fancy and fashion of the time. When in 17O1, footmen attending gentlemen were for biddcn to carry swords, those quarrel some weapons were usually replaced by a porter's staff, with large silver handle, as it was then described. Thirty years later gentlemen were forbidden to carry swords and to carry large oak sticks,
 with great heads and ugly faces carved thereon. Before very long a competi- ton arose between long and short walk ing sticks; some gentlemen liked them long as leaping poles, as satirist of the day tells us, while others preferred a yard of vanished cane ''scraped taper, bound at one end with wax taper, and tipped at the other with neat turned ivory head as big as silver penny

An Ingenious OriOle.

It is curious what variety of materi- als Baltimore orioles will use in the con- struction of their nests. In the lawn of one of the pretticst homes in the State of Maryland pair of orioles selected tree in which to build It was a large fir tree, about 45 feet from the house. The lady of the house was sewing by one of the windows opposite this tree early one beautiful summer morning, and, on be- ing called away to some other room, she placed her spool of cotton on the win dow sill. When she returned she found the spool was gone, and on looking for it discovered it on the floor of the porch which was just outside of the window. She found that considerable length of the cotton was unwound, and looking for the end of it she traced it up to the nest of the oriolc, and saw the bird busily weaving it into the nest. The lady placed the spool in the window, and it was shown as a curiosity to all who visited the house. St. Nicholas.

A Janahesa Prison.

The main prison in Kajibashi is situa- ted in central place of the capital, Tokio. and is under the direct control of the Minister of the Interior. The build ing is two stories high, and made in the shape of a cross. In each story there are 40 cages, making 80 cages in all. Each cage is nine feet square. The Jap- panese government manages to keep many prisoners in this prison for two or three
 years without any public trial. Each cage generally contains ten or eleven prisoners, who eat and sleep in this small box. Or, perhaps, it is better to say the prisoners try to sleep, heaped up one over the other sf
 There are always from 800 to 900 prisoners kept in this way. Many be- come sick, and some die. The outside of each cage is protected by a strong wooden frame. The frame itself be- comes door to let the prisoners in and out. The side facing the yards has a large window, protected with an iron frame, of which the door must not be closed without the permission of the officials, even in the scverest winter nights. This is common occurrence that prisoners are found covered with snow. The most of the prisoners have no means of communicating with their friends. When they are arrested the government spy or police tell them that they need not bring any money with them, as they will be sent back to their homes in few minutes. When they go to the prison they are kept there six months at least. During this time, if they have any money to pay postage, they are permitted to send their letters but if they have no money no letter can be sent by public expense. They are never permitted to see their friends until the judge of secret examination makes 1 up his mind to send prisoner to ths court of public trial Washington Star

A Fish That Haunts Wrecks.

In passing the tug Effort huge brownish kind of fish was seen tied to the gunwalc. Quite a crowd was gath cred about surveying the fish, which lashed the water ,angrily with its tail. The fish was caught outside yesterday by Mir. Charles Miller and left tied to the Effort ''That," said the reporters com panlon, ''is the junetish, or jewish, as some will persist in calling them. How the term of jewish was ever applied to it am at loss to imagine, but the other term is easily explained. A june fish was never known to bo caught in the bay or Gulf unless the month was June; that is, they do not appear until that month, and may be caught afterward all summer. They are always haunting old wrecks, sunken piling, and frequently come around the wharves. Sunkcn wrccks, however, seem to hold peculiar fascination for them, as it is there they are mostly caught. They can be caught right now at the wreck of the old Westfield off the southeast end of Pelican Spit. This place was formerly we'll supplied with fish of all kinds, but lately they are not plentiful there by any means. Junetish are abundant off Indianola, where therd are good many old wrecks imbeddcd in the bottom of the Gulf. These wrccks were caused by the great storm of 1875, and the junefish haunt them by day and night. They can always Dc caught there with the proper bait [Galveston News.

 ''The men would choke to death here without their beer. When they work ten hours, as they do mp here, forty glasses of beer is not a large amount to drink after one gets used to it," con tinued the foreman. q have now shown you the hardest work our men do, and you can easily see why the beer they drink doesn't hurt them particu- larly. If they were in some other busi- ness I suppose it might be different. = New York World. ~

Senator Fairs Skull.

The Chicago Times tells the following story of Senator Fair: A number of years ago, when he was engaged in actively experimenting one of his min ing properties, he directed the boss in one of his mines to have wrought-iron crank made at a certain angle. This foreman told him it was impossible. MT. Fair then went into the works at the mouth of the mine, put on work mans apron and cap and began the workxof making the crank himself, at theahgle which he had described. The foreman in charge of the room, coming abound, saw a workman, as he supposed, ydisobeyins e57n wasting property bS trying to make what had already been declared to be au impossibility :; he picked up a piece of iron and knocked the amateur workman down, just as he was completing the piece of work. This blow fractured Fairs skull. His life was saved only through trepanning. Mir. Fair to-day has small silver plate in the top of his head. After he had recovered he felt very uncomfortable. He felt symptoms of brain trouble. After time he went back to the surgeon and said 'I am certain that that job was not we'll done; there is a splinter eft in that wound-I can feel the prick of it." The surgeon at first would not listen to Mir. Fair, but he insisted on having it done over again. The surgeon then discovered that there was splinter, and that if the senator had not himself discovered the cause of his trouble, his brain would have been affected in short time beyond the hope of recovery.

Beyond.

It seemeth such a little way to me Across to that strange country, the Beyond, And yet not strange, for it has grown to bc The home of those of whom I am so fond; They make it seem familiar and most dear, AS journeying friends bring distant countries
 near.
 So close it lies that, when my sight is clear, l think see the gleaming strand; know, feel that those whove gone from
 here A Come near enough to touch my hand; <ss I often think, but for our yelled eTies, We should find heaven right round i,s lies. I can not make it seem day to dread When from this dear earth shall journey To that still dearer country of the dead, And join the lost ones so long dreamed about. I love this world, yet shall love to go And meet the friends who wait for me,
 know.
 And so for me there is no sting to death, And so the grave has lost it's victory; It is but crossing, with hated breath, And white, set face, a little strip of sea, To find the loved ones waiting on the shore, More beautiful, more precious than before.

The Only Laughing Animal.

For my part, writes George Stewart, am convinced that, in every one of oul perceptions of the comic, humorous ol ridiculous, there is an ultimate element which can no more be analysed or de- fined by anything else than can our ideas of truth or goodness. But however this may be, it is abundantly evident that all human laughter (other than that due to the mere physical infuences) includes a distinct intellectual element. This is a laughter in which no mere animal shares. The anthropoid apes are by far the most like man of all brutes, and 8 very bright and lively adult specimen chimpanzee called Sally-is now living in the gardens of the Geological Society, of London, and is remarkable for the readiness and dexterity with which she has learned to perform many tricks. At my request experiments have been made to see if she could be- got to give any evidence of perception of the ludicrous. For this purpose her keeper arrayed himself in various unusual and brightly colored garments and went through number of absurd gestures Sally was evidently interested in his ap- pearance and inspected him with care
 but: as evidently, did not realize the humor of the situation. Indeed, her keeper (who is an extremely intelligent man) assured me he has never detected anything in her demearor which he could set down to perception of the ludi- crous, although she has very marked and definite ways of expressing her feelings of joy, anger or disappointment.
